Hi!
I am done with my baby blanket, that I posted about before. I had to wait until the baby was done because I wanted to enter the name’s initials into the center square and that is why I had to wait for the name to be acutally given to the little one.
I do not want to show baby pictures here without the parents’ permission but here is the blanket with the initials: MS.
More pictures and link to the original pattern by Garnstudio in my Ravelry Projects.
Beautiful!
It’s gorgeous! :yay:
Impressive!! 
Beautiful patterns on it and the color is classic. A great gift and the monogram makes it very personal.
thanks, girls!
It is Garnstudio Nepal, so it is a mix of Alpaca and wool. It is sooooo soft and warm. I can’t wait to present it to the little M.
But I did not want to bring it to the hospital when seeing her the first time. Parents have enough to haul around - I will visit them at home and bring the gift.
That is very pretty and a keepsake for sure.
thanks. I made it a nicely decent size (85 cm square - that is about 34 inches). That will make it nice for extra-warm bed covering… and can be used for a couch-cuddle-blanket and maybe be in use for a very long time. It has that potential… let’s see how it will be in reality.
I will make a blanket like this for my husband and me soon. We are thinking of getting a new couch and as soon as we know about the color and everything I will make a nice big blanket for it, maybe with matching pillowcases. That pattern by garnstudio is great. Just that chessboard-pattern for one set of squares I can really do without. I will come up with my own pattern there. Not so hard.
That blanket is absolutely gorgeous!
I agree with everyone else … with it being a beautiful pattern in a classic color and personalized with the child’s initials, it is sure to be an heirloom!
Absolutely gorgeous! What a work of heart!
Thanks a lot. I can’t wait to go and present the blanket. Maybe I can do that this weekend. But I really think, mother and baby need rest and alone-time. So I do not want to intrude.
The original pattern is by garnstudio and I just cut it down from 20 squares to 9 to make it baby size.
It was a pregnancy-companion-project as I started planning it right when I heard the good news and kept knitting parts of it on and off during the last 5 month of the episode. It was nice to have that growing project and seeing the baby grow, ehm, the belly. Now she is there and is SUCH a cutie!
DIVINE! A work of Art!!!
thanks, Art Lady!
I truely enjoyed the project. And even though I never thought I would make a blanket (AND enjoy it), this one was fun. Even the more complicated cable squares took under 2 hours for completion. The chessboard and false fishermen’s rib took about 25-45 min per Piece. All in good time, I think.
So I guess, I will make a big blanket before long - as soon as we know about our new couch and so on… it should be fitting exactly, if I already make it.
Beautiful !
I am glad, everybody likes it! I hope this weekend I will give it away!
Beautiful! Lovely, lovely work for some lucky baby!
Beautiful!!
Thanks. And SO soft!
Excellent work! I just love the same color throughout on pieces like that.
Beautiful blanket! How did you join the squares?
